Friday, January 5, 2018 - 11:04

Jonas Blue is kicking off the new year with a brand new banger.

The mega-producer has united with rising star Arlissa for his next major hit, 'Hearts Ain't Gonna Lie', to bring a bit of sunshine to the cold and rainy weather.

Originally released as an acoustic track by the 'Sticks and Stones' last year, Jonas Blue elevates it to new heights with his bright and shimmery production.

Should have, could have, would have, but it's too late
Shouldn't catch feelings on a first date
0 to 100, no first base
Ended up with coffee back at your place

Every night is keeping me awake
I keep thinking about all the things I would change

If I could go back
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in
If we could turn back
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in me?

Tryna win your heart but it's no race
Never had a time to find our own pace
Trying to drown feelings that won't go away
Sleep in the bed of my own mistakes

Every night it's keeping me awake
I keep thinking about all the things I would change

If I could go back
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in
If we could turn back
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in me?

I know time waits for no man
I'm standing here now with no plans
Let's go, baby
Go, go, baby
I know time waits for no man
I'm standing here now with no plans
Let's go, baby
Go, go, back

If I could go back
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in
If we could turn back (if we could come back)
Tell me would you even, would you still believe in me?
Tell me would you still believe in me?
Tell me would you still believe?

Arlissa's incredible vocals soar on 'Hearts Ain't Gonna Lie', a heartbreaking track that captures the end of a relationship that has simply ran its course.

"You were the one, the one that I wanted / But you know people change, we're not the same as we started," she sings. "We're not running away, we're moving forward."

Jonas Blue's uplifting production would fool you into thinking it's all rosy but that's the magic of sad pop songs, they'll make you dance and get you in your feelings.

Arlissa first burst onto the scene in 2012 with an epic Nas collaboration and has steadily released new music ever since, even dropping a new song every month last year.

She has written music for BTS and even had Nelly Furtado cover her song 'Sticks and Stones' for her last album, but this feels like it's her own time to shine.

Where should we run to?
We got the world in our hands and we're ready to play
They say we're wasted
But how can we waste it if we're loving every day?
Okay, I got the keys to the universe
So stay with me 'cause I got the keys, babe

Don't wanna wake up one day wishing that we'd done more
I wanna live fast and never look back, it's what we're here for
Don't wanna wake up one day wondering where'd it all go
'Cause we'll be home before we know, I wanna hear you singing

Hey, mama, don't stress your mind
We ain't coming home tonight
Hey, ma, we're gonna be alright
Dry those eyes
We'll be back in the morning when the sun starts to rise
So mama, don't stress your mind
So mama, don't stress your mind

Mama, mama, mama, yeah
We ain't coming home tonight
Mama, mama, mama, yeah
We ain't coming home tonight

Where should we run to?
We got a ticket that takes us wherever we like
We got our problems
But just for the minute, let's push all our troubles aside
Alright 'cause we got the keys to universe
Inside our minds, yeah, we got the keys, babe

Don't wanna wake up one day wishing that we'd done more
I wanna live fast and never look back, it's what we're here for
Don't wanna wake up one day wondering where'd it all go
'Cause we'll be home before we know, I wanna hear you singing

Hey, mama, don't stress your mind
We ain't coming home tonight
Hey, ma, we're gonna be alright
Dry those eyes
We'll be back in the morning when the sun starts to rise
So mama, don't stress your mind
So mama, don't stress your mind

Hey, mama, don't stress your mind
We ain't coming home tonight
Hey, mama, we're gonna be alright
Dry those eyes
We'll be back in the morning when the sun starts to rise
So mama, don't stress your mind
So mama, don't stress your mind

Mama, mama, mama, yeah
We ain't coming home tonight
Mama, mama, mama, yeah
We ain't coming home tonight
